Cool KDE Plasma trick: [Meta] + [v]

You know how you can use [Ctrl] + [v] to paste in place the last thing you copied to the clipboard, right?

A cool and productive-enhancing variant of that available in #KDE 's #Plasma desktop is that, when copying and pasting a lot of different things, you can hold down the [Meta] (“Windows”) key and hit [v], and a list of all the elements available on the clipboard will pop up so you can choose what to paste next.

    Cool! No need for separate clipboard manager (unless you need more advanced features).

      Well… the clipboard manager is still necessary 😬 , except you don’t have to go looking for it in the system tray or wherever you put it*.

      And you can do everything without lifting your fingers off the keyboard!

      * You can hide it and unclutter the tray!

        I use clipman in Xfce and bind a keyboard shortcut to popup the menu (my case Ctrl+alt+k).

        Recently I add CB (the clipboard project) to my tools to management clipboard.

        I tried many and settled for Xfce clipman (fit my need, low RAM usage).

        And I use KDE clipboard applet in KDE.

        Edit: Added KDE counterpart.
